Can FYProof spot it?

A full check of your video looks for it in what's said and the caption. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.

  • Video: not for this rule
  • Speech: looked at for this rule
  • On-screen text: not for this rule
  • Caption: looked at for this rule
  • Hashtags: not for this rule

Part of this rule depends on your account or on what happens after you post, which a check before posting can't see.
